The World of Coca-Cola

Had a really fun day the other day and it didn't cost me anything. I have been doing a little "secret shopping" just for the fun of it and my assignment last week was the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta. Coke got it's start in Atlanta and has remained here. I've always been a big fan of Coca-Cola, both the drink and the company, and was delighted to get a chance to tour their tourist attraction, The World of Coke, for free! While it is primarily a large Coca-Cola advertisement from start to finish, I didn't expect anything else. It is interesting and was a fun way to spend a few hours.

If you're in Atlanta and don't mind the $16 entrance fee, it's a nice place to spend some time - and you get a commemorative bottle of coke at the end. But be warned, the seat movement in the interactive 4-D theater can be rough!

About Me

Welcome to my art blog. I am attracted to a very diverse mixture of arts and crafts and enjoy working and playing in all of them.
Creating things has always been a part of my life, sometimes more so than others, of course. And it has taken many forms - crochet, cross stitch, photography, painting, rubber stamping, bookmaking, beading and polymer clay. I remember as a child, one my biggest thrills was getting that new box of crayons and a coloring book. Those crayons were the most beautiful things to me. And I lusted after the giant, 64 count box - didn't you? And when I played with paper dolls (remember those?), I didn't play with them like other girls, instead I used them as mannikins for dress designs.
Art allows me to fly. I do occasionally sell my work but I create it for the sake of creating, for the joy of the process, and for the fulfillment of letting my hands translate my mind's vision into something that others can see and touch. If others ask to buy it, fine, I might sell it (and I might not). But I create for the sheer pleasure of creating.
